Greg McGarity made and executive decision here, because last time Sonny Seiler was interviewed he said Russ couldn’t be Uga, and they were still looking for a replacement. Russ is a good dawg, glad McGarity decided to make it official.

I blame Bobo for letting Richt lose control of the Bulldog mascot naming program. Especially with the Roman numeral thing. Soon figuring out what number dog it is will be as hard to figure out as the ones on movie credits. But I will cut Bobo some slack for not paying attention to Richt simply because there are too many central planners like Greg, MFA and MFA’s publicist getting involved in football ops command decisions.

Forgive me for hijacking the thread, but I have a question about the picks contest. I entered my picks last Monday (the 27th). The website accepted my picks, and I printed them out so I would have a paper copy. I even went back to the site on Tuesday to make sure my picks were recorded, and they were.

Well, today I got an email telling me my picks were due. I went to the site, and my picks were gone, and the slate of games had changed slightly. The original slate included Texas A&M at Louisiana Tech. Today that game had been replaced by Washington State at BYU. I entered my picks again, so maybe I’m good.

The pool had to be changed because La. Tech moved tonight’s game to 10/13 because of Isaac. I pulled that game and added tonight’s WSU-BYU matchup to replace it. The way the pool is structured, when you substitute a game, it wipes out all submitted picks. That meant everyone had to submit their picks again.

We are taking this danged diversity waaayyyy too far with this. I think it is time to put Sonny to pasture, or if this is the next generation’s screw-up, fire them. They have been dragging Geechee bulldogs all over the state screwing every white pooch they could find for years. Supposedly there is a “feeder” system of choices from Sea Island to Lafayette and we have stumbled over this for most of the last 3-4 years. Time for a changing of the guard, someone take Sonny for a drive, someone else take Mikey, and soon we will be alright again……so long as we leave Bobo as the OC.

I demand Russ get an invitation to join Augusta National. I promise he won’t piss on the shrubs. I also demand there be a female Gator and a crossdressing Commodore at Vanderbilt. I’m not going to go so far as to demand a female Cock at SC though.
